August 2, 2011

At our family reunion last week my brother commented that all of his sisters were operating at “half-speed”.

December 14, 2010

This holiday season, the best gifts for Fit Mommas are options. Occasionally, OK all the time, our very well intentioned workout plans don’t go according to plan.
